Hi lovers.
I hope ya’ll had a good weekend (And Monday!) I went shopping with my sister, got my Forever21 bag WOOT, among some other odds and ends, and I also got to see my lovah Ali…took her out for her bday dinner and watched the Lakers go down in flames. Good girly time is priceless. I have to say that my favorite time with any of my friends is in the bathroom getting ready!  Is that weird?  Do you guys do that too?

Remember when I used to be a fashion blogger?! Me too. It’s just been a hot minute since I’ve stumbled upon anything badass enough to share, and that hasn’t already been shared 25 times. Candy & Caviar is badass x a billion–gotta thank my friend Daniel (no offense meant at all, but gay guy friends ftmfw) for the heads up…I want it all! I.die. “Little girls who dream big, make it big” is the philosophy of designer Candy Lin, and I couldn’t agree more. Now look! PRETTY! Zippers! The line is also super affordable, and I plan on rocking quite a few pieces in the near future. (After Steven kicks my ass a little more.)

Happy Sunday/Monday! I don’t like earthquakes, but other than that I had a fabulous weekend and I hope you did too! Note-You know you’re a born and raised Cali girl when the first thing you do during a fairly large earthquake is calmly move your water away from your MAC and then go on Twitter. While your home is still shaking (because it was the longest earthquake ever.) Seriously, I hope everyone is ok though.

On to other things rocking my world (I’m so lame)-I was introduced to Peace Love World, based out of Miami, after Peace Love World participated in Rock Media Fashion Week, sponsored by Volvo & Crest White Strips, as well as Elle Magazine. Peace Love World is a ready to wear line with a mission to spread peace, love and happiness everywhere possible and to do so in an environmentally-conscious way. The effortless designs were featured on So You Think You Can Dance, the Ellen Show and Dancing With The Stars. That’s all completely badass, but all I care about was if the line was cute or not. I DIE. Casual chic to the extreme that I just had to share with you. And by “share” I mean…let’s have a giveaway! I went on their website and picked 3 of my favorite T-shirts-perfect for running errands, the gym, the beach, and PLW generously offered to giveaway one of each. So-3 winners. Does that make sense? I think I have earthquake brain. Details below….

1. “I am Free” Slate Sheer V-Neck 2. “Love You Mean It” Jersey V-Neck (says “Mean It” on the back. So.CUTE.) 3. “Simply Happy” Sheer V-Neck (My Fav)

Le Rules-

Open to all my followers/friends/readers/stalkers on my blog or Twitter. Just leave a comment with an email address. You can tell me something nice too, if you want.

Additional entries-Follow PLW on Twitter and/or become a fan on Facebook. Leave separate comments for each, if you don’t mind. Makes my life easier

I’ll announce the THREE winners this Friday, April 9th.

I hope we all have happy week ahead, lovers! LOVE YOU MEAN IT!

This is the second giveaway I’ve partnered with Leigh of jkldesign on…I adore her and her work blows my mind. Leigh’s fashion inspired art has been featured in Dujour Magazine, Skirt Magazine and on both Forever 21’s blog the Skinny, as well as inside the premier issue of Forever 21’s editorial magazine. Below are a few of my favorites, but if you win you can choose any print from jkldesign.

Happy Monday! In my head, that sounded totally sarcastic so just in case it didn’t translate-TOTALLY SARCASTIC. But anyway! The project I’m working on requires me to go into an office (I’m sure I’m getting blank stares from most of you…as you read this from your offices), and last week I was bored out of my mind with my outfits! Therefore, no lookbooks…yet. I love dresses…they’re so easy to throw on, and Hanako, Kelly and Maegan inspire me with the dresses they wear to work. I have to admit though, that dresses are one retail sector that kind of intimidate me, especially when it comes to the workplace. I can wear whatever the heck I want, one of the perks of working in a creative industry, however…if you have boobs or curves like me-lots of dresses can go from cute to skank in 2.5 secs…not professional at all. Below are dresses I would wear to work that won’t break the bank (I despise spending a fortune on work clothes, let’s save that for the Loubies kthxbai.)

All of the above from ASOS. I wish they were hanging in my closet NOW. Boo wtf am I gonna wear tomorrow ughhhh!!! Sunday night grumpies, party of one…

In other news, I have the Ciao, Chessa! winner to announce!! My lovey banana badger was forced gracious enough to pick the lucky number via gchat this evening…number 84- Carissa from The Lovely Dove it is all you woman! Have your people talk to my people and let’s do the damn thing Congrats, doll!

{I want Brooke. This song came on as I started my car today and reminded me of our bathroom sesh’s.}
{I want my mayra-banana. And some ice cream. But not on my banana. UMMM this got weird, and fast. I die.}

I have the most fabulous sponsors in the world. They have all become friends, and I’m happy to have them! Meet some, fall in love like I did and tell em I sent you! And as always, remember that I will never support/endorse/recommend to you guys anything I don’t completely adore. True story.

Ladyee Boutique carries some of my favorite designers like Yumi Kim, Christopher Deane and Gypsy 05…in addition to one of a kind vintage and cutting edge pieces perfect for a night out. Free shipping on orders over $100 (domestic).

Reverie-Daydream Boutique-Many of you may know sweet Mel from her lovely Reverie-Daydream blog, and her boutique is simply breathtaking. Their mission is to bring us “creative designed, earth-friendly, made with love goods that tell a story and make you happy” and I think they far exceed that…I’ve found so many treasures that will be happily making their way onto my Christmas list this year, but I doubt I can wait that long. (Yes, I still make a Christmas list. What?)
